Narwhals.
Today I happily stumbled upon this cute pair from skunkyboy creatures (blog here)… button-eyed narwhal friends Noodles and Nel....
You cannot be serious.
Mini marshmallows fashioned from fleece by scrumptiousdelight in Vancouver....
Yellow.
Rain rain go away.
Here we are on the first official day of summer, and it feels like it’s been raining and dreary in Boston for weeks. Yuck! At least Donna Wilson’s version is cheerier - clouds and rain get different treatment in lambswool and glass....
Sweet ceramics.
Beautiful little ceramics from Pretty Random Objects, all rounded edges and milky glazes…...
Mental states.
Fomato seems to sum it up…...
O dear.
I’m a sucker for these woolly animal friends from Amy Stewart’s Chicago-based five trees, with their sweet faces and old-fashioned names. Below are Euclid, Barnaby, Sullivan, and Bernardo....
Just avoid the licorice ones.
Over Thanksgiving, D’s little niece had me spend a good ten minutes smelling all her fruit-scented markers, which made me think it’s really been too long since I’ve had things like smelly markers in my life. Portland-based Stubby P...
Irresistibly absurd.
It’s birthday season in my social circle and in the midst of all the attendant events, a friend introduced me to the Los Angeles stationer Fomato. Unidentifiable bloblike creatures (that seem vaguely inspired by contemporary Japanese graphic de...
The abc’s.
Love this alphabet chart from The Small Object, created wholly from their line of rubber stamps. Goofy little creatures - from underdogs to dust bunnies to teeth - cavort in rows across the chart, illustrating their letters. Available in sepia and ...
Plastic pears.
These udder-like pear juice bottles designed by Conor Hagan make me laugh. Check out their little feet. See more cool design work from Conor on his website. Via Design Milk. Share This...
Like sugar.
UK designer Vicky Riley’s button-, ribbon-, and lace-festooned coin purses are almost too sweet. But wait, there’s more! See her etsy shop for a variety of other handmade items. Share This...
Sitting pretty.
Even more sweet songbirds, this time in three dimensions. Those handy with a needle and thread will find plenty to keep them occupied at Spool, including a pattern for this mobile. I like the real branches - a naturalistic touch. Share This...
Zoo and city in a box.
I’m into these toy sets from Superspace, a Copenhagen-based design studio founded by architects Sarah Müllertz and Stine Holscher. Despite the modern graphics and fresh colors, there’s something a charmingly old-fashioned about this woo...
It’s getting warmer…
…slowly but surely, even here in the city of near-perpetually unfavorable weather. I’m anticipating the first leaves, flowers, and re-appearance of small mammals with these cards from Good on Paper and Tennis, Anyone? Share This...
Look at this beauteous beauty.
An aside on my other favorite topic: food. Merril and I created this massive and life-changing sandwich recently, and we call him… The Best Friend. Think thick slices of whole wheat bread, caramelized raisins, bubbling hot cheddar cheese, hon...
Sweet sleep.
Dreams can only be sweet on these silkscreened linen pillows from Brooklyn-based Atsuyo et Akiko. The designers behind the brand, Atsuyo Yang and Akiko Mukae, also offer bags, tees, jewelry, and paper goods. Check out their online store or this l...
Bonjour, mon petit chou!
Thanks to {frolic!} I’ve discovered another contender for my favorite bloom: the Yves Piaget. I seem to have an affinity for flowers that look like cabbages. What can I say? Cabbages are kind of cute. Share This...
Studio On Fire.
Um, I love food, so these bold letterpressed blank-inside cards from Studio On Fire hit the right chord with me. I think I’d send these little quirky works of art to those numerous friends who also make a pastime out of loving butter, cheese, ...
Up against the wall.
They won’t fit in an envelope, but these bold, to-the-point prints might be even better than a traditional valentine. Dandy Star’s LOVE print, available here and here. (Via {frolic!}.) Big, simple text somehow adds poignancy to Brooklyn...
I could just eat them up.
They’re that cute. A quickie but a good one for Friday: letterpressed blobs and grinning sea monkeys in love from Chicago-based Erica Barraca’s littlepretty. Via Paper Crave. Share This...
